General Description The n-DNet MiniHub is a standalone network interface unit connecting endpoints to the Mobix patented n-Dimensional Network (see box for n-DNet description) It is a feature rich MiniHub designed to collect, store and forward data from up to 2 meters. Meters could be in any combination of electric, gas and/or water with Pulse, RS-232 or RS-485. As a node on the patented n-Dimensional mesh network, the n-DNet MiniHub communicates simultaneously in parallel over RF and PLC there by guaranteeing continuous reliable two-way communications at the highest cost efficiency. System tempering detection, parameter driven abnormal consumption and remote service connect/disconnect are among the smart n-DNet MiniHub unique features. Page 3 MiniHub User Guide 10/15/2013 2.

Montage sur un rail DIN l'aide de la norme DIN ddi montage l'arrire de la bote. Utiliser les trous de montage l'arrire de la bote 2. Monter sur un rail DIN l'aide de la DIN ddi sur le dos de la bote. 3. Pour viter la propagation du feu en cas de dfauts du circuit, le moyeu doit tre install dans un botier d'incendie adapt la dernire version de la norme UL 61010-1, sans ouvertures au bas. 4. Connecter les fils de commande 8 pour les emplacements de fond selon l'une des numros de broche. Utilisez les vis dsignes. Il s'agit d'un point de vue des connexions du MiniHub:
5. Selon le schma de connexion:

Safety Connect the input and output wires only when mains are not connected To prevent fire spreading in case of shortcut, the hub must be installed in a suitable enclosure without any openings at the bottom. Connect mains only to 110-230Vac power source All AC connections should be done by an authorized electrician The unit intends to be powered from building wiring in Overvoltage Category II. If the unit is installed in Overvoltage Category higher than II, external overvoltage Page 9 MiniHub User Guide 10/15/2013 Sret protective device compliant with IEC 61643 standard and NEC/CEC shall beprovided in building installation to reduce mains transients to Overvoltage Category II. Connectez les fils de l'entre et sortie seulement quand les principale source d'lectricit ne sont pas connects Pour viter la propagation du feu en cas de raccourci, le moyeu doit tre install dans une enceinte approprie sans ouvertures au bas. Raccorder seulement aux source d'alimentation 110-230V Toutes les connexions AC doit tre effectue par un lectricien agr l'unit est destin tre aliment partir de l'installation lectrique dans les catgorie de surtension 2. Si l'unit est installe dans la catgorie de surtension suprieure 2, externe conforme surtension dispositif de protection avec la IEC 61643 standard et NEC / CEC doivent tre fournis dans la construction de l'installation pour rduire les transitoires conduites la catgorie de surtension 2. 5. Supply disconnect switch A supply disconnect switch, or a circuit breaker must be installed at the connection point of the power cable to the mains. Circuit breaker should be a standard device with the following characteristics - 2A 110/230VAC 50/60Hz. An example - S201M-C4NA by ABB. The switch should be in close proximity to the hub within easy reach for the operator. A marking should be added on the switch identifying it as a disconnection device for the hub. Fourniture Sectionneur Un sectionneur d'alimentation, ou un disjoncteur doit tre install au point de connexion du cble d'alimentation sur le secteur. Disjoncteur doit tre un dispositif standard avec les caractristiques suivantes - 2A 110/230VAC 50/60Hz. Un exemple - S201M-C4NA par ABB. Le commutateur doit se trouver proximit du concentrateur la porte de l'oprateur. Un marquage doit tre ajout sur l'interrupteur de l'identifier comme un dispositif de dconnexion pour le concentrateur. 5. Environmental characteristics The Hub is intended for indoor use only. For outdoor application a weatherproof external enclosure should be added. Installation site altitude will be up to 2000m. Temperature range should be -40- +70 deg C. For harsher temperatures an external temperature controlled enclosure should be added. Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31 deg C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40 deg C. Mains supply voltage fluctuations up to +-10% of the nominal voltage.
